Too right Vidiot, the GB just want to enjoy power, fame and a bottomless pocket of money. They're living the dream. Kate xx

Leaving the JWs, experiencing Christianity and finding freedom! (But it took awhile)

this is my first post here.. i was raised in "the truth", and am an ex-bethelite who worked in brooklyn for several years back in the 90's.

a few years after i left bethel, i started to become disillusioned after doing research about the society and reading crisis of conscience (i know..i wasn't supposed to do that lol).

i eventually stopped attending meetings and going out in service.

Satan is not mentioned in Gen 3. A snake spoke to Eve. Its an ancient creation myth in which there is no Satan. He is not connected with the serpent until the NT.-cofty

I agree Satan is not mentioned, but as I said the serpent is. The whole of Gen chapter 3 introduces the concepts of good and bad, right and wrong, honesty and lies. The chapter was written with the intent of saying that doing something different from what God says is wrong. It is written in very concrete terms and is a load of nonesense. I do believe evil people exist though. Greedy, selfish, inconsiderate people.

Good point Oub, the more they try and be different the more they look identical to other cults. The whole image wreaks of bad practice, advertising and making money. Kate xx

Great find. Notice how the web designer is an outsourced company. I wonder why they felt the need to do this, the site seems very JWish with a hint of non-JW influence. It probably is all about the money. It always is.

Great find Rebel8, but most JWs won't see it as failed prophesy. They are too indoctrinated, but still we can have hope people are waking up. We have had a couple this week wake up on JWN, one was a teenager still at school. Goodnews eh?

JW.org might be messing up

Satan does not exist in the earliest parts of the OT before the Babylonian exile. Everything was attributed to Yahweh - good and evil.-cofty

I disagree the serpent was mentioned in Gen Ch 3, the rest of the bible refers to him being the father of the lie, Satan the Devil. It's evil to lie, hence the bible introduces evil straight away. In the first chapter of Job, satan has a conversation with God, the whole book of Job features Satan.

The point is do we belive what the bible teaches about evil. As I think that God is indifferent to us I likewise feel there is no evil force that cares about what we do. I do believe that people can be selfish, greedy, inconsiderate and hurtful. These types of people are evil. But people can also be the opposite.
